Why So Many Women Are Quietly Blowing Up Their Lives Motherhood, identity and the invisible load

After a break, Motherloading is back.

In this opening episode of Season 2, Nicky and Michelle catch up on everything that’s happened behind the scenes — from new babies and body changes to burnout, relationship strain, identity shifts and one huge career decision.

Nicky opens up about quietly hitting a wall, questioning everything, and ultimately quitting her high-paying corporate job after realising the invisible load had become too heavy to carry.

Michelle shares what early motherhood with Devin has really felt like, from unexpected calm to body confidence struggles, mental load and learning how to protect her peace.

Together, they unpack the messy middle of modern motherhood — the part nobody really talks about.

In this episode:

the invisible load women carry every day

body grief after kids

relationships, libido and resentment

burnout, hormones and feeling unlike yourself

career pivots, self-doubt and the millennial identity crisis
